MAYBE I SHOULD NOT DO YOUR HOME WORKS

Maybe I didn’t get it right the first time but it wasn’t that bad anyways.I am talking about homeschooling of course and being my kids teacher ! Well they kind of complained the first time, I was too fast and I tried the impossible task to split myself in 3 and teach them at the same time.

It was a mistake and next year, while at least part of their year is going to be home schooled again, I won’t make the same mistake and I will focus 1 on 1.That way I believe I can make it work better.

Right now, I am the one parent spending more time at home, and I will forever be thankful to life and to my wife for allowing me to do so.This is a fantastic experience with its ups and downs but still wonderful.

Now, staying home implies helping out with their home works and drawing the line between helping out and actually doing them is sometimes thin.I am lucky they most of the time do everything on their own and I just supervise or correct.But at times I decide I am not wasting half a day for the sake of it and I get more done than I should.

This is what happened when Thomas came home super excited telling me “there is a maths home work and if I win, I could win a trip to Rome”.It would make a great gift to numerous people we know and so I kind of helped him out.Anyways, the idea was to build a photograph on geometric shapes and describe them.Here is what we came up with (thanks Leonie).
